Samsung will "destroy" the Galaxy S10 ultrasound fingerprint scanner

News24xx.com - Users risk losing an expensive smartphone in the first months of use. The company presented the long-awaited line of flagships Galaxy S10. Instant feedback from techno-bloggers has made Korean smartphones one of the leaders of the annual TOP. However, Samsung’s clear desire to compete with Apple quickly turned Korean geniuses into Cupertine majors.

Now Samsung launches flagships with the invisible note “Here is a piece of iron, you must the rest yourself”. At the same time, the company literally leaves no choice to consumers: a percentage of the sales of all additional accessories will go to Samsung accounts. So, the company will be earn even on an ultrasound fingerprint scanner, which GIS, O-film and Qualcomm have done for it.

It is a little theory: intradisplay fingerprint scanners are of two types - optical and ultrasound. The first "photograph" the finger, making it a 2D-image, which is extremely unreliable. Ultrasound scanners create a 3D image of a print using waves that pick up sensors when you press a finger. This type of scanner is more reliable, it is able to recognize the imprint of a dirty or wet finger, and it is this that makes up the biggest part of the price for a gadget.

Recall, the price of the Galaxy S10 starts at $ 900. The feature of this scanner is that it almost always doesn’t work when protective glass is placed on the screen, which doesn’t happen, for example, with similar flagships of Huawei. This happens because 90% of the offers of protection on the market are made from plastic, which forms an air cushion with a display. And the screens of such smartphones are made of "elastic" and sensitive material. Unfortunately, faced with such a problem, many users refuse protection. These phones are broken in the first months of operation. Nevertheless, there are still manufacturers who create protective glasses specifically for smartphones with ultrasound scanners. But in most stores they cannot be bought, since the price of "security" will be at least $ 60 per piece. These companies specifically create these glasses for certain models of smartphones.

The market has long been divided, so not any manufacturer of such exclusive protective surfaces will mention cooperation with Samsung. However, when using such accessories, users continue to complain about the idle scanner, which literally destroys the Galaxy S10 itself, and with it the belief in the company.
